Public Beta endpoint is returning a CAPTCHA confirmation #99

I'm trying out the Giphy API for our app and it worked before the weekend. Now it's throwing a CAPTCHA request at me and I verified that it does that too when done from the browser. This is what I'm getting:

I've already enabled cookies on the code side just to be sure:

static let session: NSURLSession = {
    let configuration = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
    configuration.timeoutIntervalForRequest = 15
    configuration.HTTPCookieAcceptPolicy = .Always

    let session = NSURLSession(configuration: configuration)
    return session
}()

Sounds like cloudflare is preventing ddos attacks by ensuring requests are made by a human.

Not sure why an api is behind cloudflare.

What can I do to prevent this in the future?

If you are on a personal connection, like at home, you can run an anti-virus scan on your device to make sure it is not infected with malware.

If you are at an office or shared network, you can ask the network administrator to run a scan across the network looking for misconfigured or infected devices.

As of this comment time, the API is working again without the CAPTCHA request.

This should be resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience!
